Does wind power cause visual pollution in your opinion?

I remember reading somewhere (probably my high school textbook) that one of the reasons people don't like wind power being built is they cause visual pollution.

In my opinion, I think it would be pretty cool to just look out my window and see a giant windmill there, the opposite of visual pollution.

I think they look really cool. I can't get the rage about a friggin' giant electricity producing machine but they're fine with billboards everywhere.

Once The Man figures out that windmills would make good persistence-of-vision displays to play adverts on, I'm going to start burning them down.

They weren't there was a big campaign against them in the 60s. Which led to the Highway Beautification Act.
